Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) Platform - 5 Year Financial Model

Description
Buy now, pay later (BNPL) is a type of short-term financing that allows consumers to make purchases and pay for them over time, usually with no interest. Buy now, pay later (BNPL) programs have different terms and conditions, but generally, they offer short-term loans with fixed payments and no interest. 
Consumers can use a BNPL app to make a purchase at a participating retailer and opt for buy now, pay later at checkout. 
If approved, they make a small down payment, such as 25% of the overall purchase amount. They then pay off the remaining amount in a series of interest-free installments, usually over a few weeks or months.
